Hey Kelley, My husband and I tiled our house ourselves this past spring and summer. We did almost the whole house, except for the master bedroom, master closet-pretty small, and one of the other bedrooms. Our whole house is a little over 1500 square feet, so it was quite a job, but we did it, and it looks great. I would say it cost under $4000, but we picked out porcelain tile and what we liked. It could have been done for about $2000-$3000 had we gone cheaper on the tile. Also, I went to a friend's house last month that had the stained concrete like Phaewryn was talking about, and it looked absolutely fantastic. They stained it a brownish color, and the concrete had been etched (scored) to look like large tiles, 2x2 or bigger, and then covered with a really shiny shellac. It looked GREAT, and I bet it was not expensive. The only thing about concrete is that it's porous, so the shellac had to also needs to be a sealer.
